Tom Gorrio is playing Athens Popfest this year

August 14 @ Caledonia Lounge 10:30pm
256 W Clayton St
Athens, GA

some of us are trying to ride out in caravans, let's support Tom and make this fun! there will definitely be some Baby Calendar songs played whether Jackie makes it or not (I'm trying, but either way there do exist BC songs where only Tom sings hehe), and lots of other material that Tom has accumulated through the years - much of it brand spankin' new! A very talented friend of ours will be accompanying Tom with some sprinkles of percussion and goodness. In case you hadn't heard, Call it Radar is done and done, over and over, they play their last few shows these next 2 weekends so if you wanna say bye, head out. Otherwise, Tom is going to complete the CIR tour dates with his solo jams and forge ahead from there.

PLEASE ADD TOM GORRIO AND KEEP LISTENING AND HE WILL BE POSTING LOTS OF NEW MATERIAL IN THE DAYS AND WEEKS TO COME! We thank you all for all your love and support through the years, now please transfer some of that love to our very own songwriter and mastermind, Tom Gorrio - www.myspace.com/tomgorrio

<3, Jackie

The HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME 7" SINGLES CLUB is limited to 450 copies for subscribers - these are collectible item rarities, order now to ensure you get a copy of all these RARE awesome fun pop tunes! Oh and of course, BABY CALENDAR has new songs for you on our 7" split with Fishboy!

Here is the information: http://www.hhbtm.com/singlesclub.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HHBTM 2007 Singles Club Info

1. The Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records 2007 Singles Club is limited to 600 copies. 150 copies will be split between each band on the single, which leaves 450 copies for subscribers. There will not be any second pressings, so once these are gone, they are gone for good.

2. A subscriber can order multiple clubs. There is not a limit to the amount of clubs one person can order.

3. Ordering the club will work in this way:
Go to the order page, and leave your ordering info (name, address, email, how you plan to pay, and how many clubs you want).
I will then email you letting you know a paypal total, and you will have 72 hours to pay via paypal. If you don't send payment within 72 hours, your subscription will go to the next person in line.
If you plan to pay with check or money order, you will have 2 weeks to get your check or money order in. After 2 weeks, if your payment has not be received then your subscription will be given to the next person in line. This is as fair as I think I can make it.

4. We started taking orders at midnight Eastern time on Thursday, March 22nd.

5. There will be 13 singles in the club with 3 shipments over the next year. The first and second shipments will have 4 singles each, while the third shipment will have 5.

6. The singles club will run $60.00 in the USA, $65.00 in Canada, and $80.00 for the rest of the world.

7. The first 150 subscribers will get a special version of the singles club with lots of extras and special packaging.

8. Each single will be split between two bands with each single being on a different color vinyl and in a different color silkscreen sleeve. Some bands will give two tracks while others might only give one track.


The lineup for the singles is as follows:

Another great review for our latest album, GINGERBREAD DOG, is up now at SOUND AS LANGUAGE!!



Baby Calendar… January 15, 2007
Posted by soundaslanguage in Music, Mp3, Music Reviews. trackback

Baby Calendar "Gingerbread Dog" (Happy Happy Birthday To Me)

BUY HERE!

First, let me just say that I have no fondness whatsoever with music that is considered "twee" pop. Cute and happy music just has never really been my thing. So, it is with trepidation that I reviewed Baby Calendar's latest release Gingerbread Dog. However, Baby Calendar are not your ordinary "twee" band and I was thankful for that. The band hails from Miami, FL (which is odd to say the least) and Gingerbread Dog is the band's third full length record.

There is no denying that Baby Calendar possess much more depth in their songwriting than most bands lumped into the twee pop category. You can tell their influences aren't just coming from that one particular genre. The album's opening tracks "Zipped Up" and "Traffic In The Tropics" are proof of that as it sounds like a twee-emo pop (?) version of Rainer Maria. In fact, with the give and take between the male (Tom Gorrio) and female (Jackie Biver) vocals, many of the songs here remind me of a poppier version of Rainer Maria and that's a pretty good thing in my book. "Laboratories" is just a great piece of songwriting that showcases the dual vocals that work so well for the band. "Lemon Snaps" is fairly close to being a straight up rock song. "Lunchbox" is decidedly the most twee track here as the harmonies and cute lyrics overwhelm you. And you know what? I like it. It's a scary realization.

Baby Calendar have created their own little slice of a genre here. It's 1/3 twee , 1/3 emo and 1/3 geek rock all rolled up into one. Fans of all of the genres listed above should find something to like on Gingerbread Dog. These guys and gal are damn good at what they do and it's hard to not have respect for that.

RIYL: Rainer Maria, The Rentals, The Anniversary

This Week's SonicBids Winner
2006-12-14 15:42:16.040,
Story by: Eric Davidson

This week's winner of the CMJ SonicBids Spotlight is Florida's Baby Calendar, a playful lil' pop band that is sort of a garage-y Mates Of Sates with a crazed basher for a drummer. Check the SonicBids link on www.cmj.com, or their own site for more information. Congrats, guys!

Shortly upon returning home from being on tour for nearly 3 months straight, we headed back out to play at the Athens Popfest in Athens, GA and complete a short tour with Keith John Adams, a labelmate from London, England. We all became fast friends and had a wonderful time of it! Here are some photos from Popfest and the show dates that followed in TN, NC, MD, & GA:

During the summer of 2006, between the months of MAY - JULY, Baby Calendar traveled the USA, PERFORMING NIGHTLY (sometimes twice in one day) at venues, clubs, basements, living rooms, parks, festivals, community centers, bars, bookshops, infoshops, thrift shoppes, and all manner of locations.

We played our hearts out, had a lot of fun, saw lots of our buddies from previous tours and met lots of great new people. Here are just a fraction of the photos we've collected from our SUMMER 2006 ADVENTURE TOUR. If you have more photos from this tour, please send them to us and we'll post 'em right up! (babycalendar @ hotmail . com).

Thanks to everyone who made this trip amazing!!! (extra special super thanks to those who sang along at the shows and those who fed/housed us!!)

AND NOW FOR THE PHOTOS:
